With the continuous advancement of internet technology and the widespread internet literacy, the concept of integrated online and offline internet hospitals is gradually being embraced and applied both domestically and internationally. This model's relevance in thoracic surgery lies in its ability to improve efficiency and provide comprehensive, diverse, and personalized medical services to address complex and serious medical conditions. However, the implementation of internet hospitals also presents certain challenges such as hardware conditions and diagnostic risks. Through further research and localization in the future, the integrated online and offline internet hospital model is expected to develop and improve, contributing to better medical services for patients in thoracic surgery clinical practice.
